Hint: Deals and offers
can also be found on www.booking.com and other intermediaries! Any
notable offers will be mentioned on the FOC reflector, but this is a
popular hotel destination so booking early is advisable.

The hotel is very easy to reach by car, being just off the A3. Access
from the M25 is convenient, and for international visitors, London Heathrow and London Gatwick airports are both just 20 miles away.

PARKING:

Parking
at the hotel is free, but requires your number plate to be entered into
a ParkingEye machine at the hotel reception. If you forget, you may
well receive a parking fine, so a reminder will be sent around before
the event!

DINNER MENU:

Tomato & Basil soup

Lemon and herb chicken

Chocolate brownie with ice cream

Tea and coffee will be served

A vegetarian option is available on request (wild mushroom tart). You can select your choice when you register for the event on this website, however, if you have any special dietary requirements then please could you let Michael, G7VJR know after registering.

Friday
20th October: Check-in at the Holiday Inn for two nights. Meet at the
bar at 6.45pm. An informal FOC dinner will be coordinated at the Olivo
Italian restaurant in Guildford (http://olivo.co.uk/). This is very
popular restaurant frequented by the Wey Valley Amateur Radio Group and local FOC
members. Booking in advance will be needed, and more details will
follow.

Saturday
21st October: Afternoon tours of the local area (see below). The FOC
AGM will begin at 5.30pm, with time for an open discussion immediately
afterwards. Once the meeting has concluded we will adjourn and reconvene
at 7.30pm for 8pm - Dinner.

We are also looking at arranging a trip to the
Brooklands Museum https://www.brooklandsmuseum.com/ This is not radio
of course, but offers a chance to look at some classic cars, aircraft and the
famous Brooklands banked track. Former member Don G2BB, now SK, used to race
there. If you are interested, please drop a note to G4HZV or G0EFO, so we can
gauge the likely numbers.

Sunday
22nd October: Nigel, G3TXF has very kindly offered to host FOC members
at an informal gathering at his QTH in nearby Weybridge on the Sunday morning (10am).
